When I was 15 my brother passed away it was 2 days after his 21st birthday. He left us boys. One of his boys wasnt here yet so he never got too meet his daddy, and the other one was 1 year old. Neither one of them will really have any concept of what he was like. After this I lived day by day depressed. I wanted to kill myself but I never got up actually enough courage to even try. This lasted for over a year, and then I realized I had to live. My nephews need me, and I have to remind them how great their daddy was. My nephews are now 2 and 3. So, cherish it. !

Martha

I straightened up after my niece was born and to see some1 has been through this has touched me. I think your poem is great.

Ashlee

i dont know what to say i have never been in that position but when i read the poem something overwhelmed me. it is an excellent poem!

Sarah

I love your poem. I'm fourteen and it reminded me of when I wanted to die. When I found out I was pregnant, the baby gave me a reason to live, even after her birth. I had someone who would love me no matter what my past was. Jordan really gave me a new life. Your poem shows exactly how I feel. Thank you!

hope

i really loved this poem it made me think of my baby that i couldnt have and now the one im going to have and at first was scared of. your poem is GREAT!

Lindsay

This is a great poem. I wouldn't change anything about it. I'm glad that your niece was born and saved you from hurting yourself and it was nice how your put your feelings for her into a poem. Keep writing your great at it! ~ Lin ~

Tammy

This poem was very touching to me. My niece is so near and dear to me and my heart, now she is feeling down and out doing time in jail for driving without a license. She is devistated being seperated from her two boys. I was looking for a poem that would tell her how much she means to me as well as how much she is needed not only for myself but her children. My niece and I have been through very hard hurtful times yet we still stayed strong for each other. Reading poems such as this lets me know we are not alone in our down times. Keep the beautiful work going. Deepest Thanks.

meghan

Annie

Your poem really made me think. my sister has just had her 3rd child and i remember the day she gave birth to the first i was in hopistal because of a drug over dose and wanted to die. your poem made me think when i first saw my nephew and held him that the reason i wanted to live was for him.

Trista

I just want to let you know that your poem really inspired me. I couldn't stand my life, but then my brothers girlfriend was pregnant and I came to the conclusion I was going to be an aunt for the first time. I would be called Aunt Trista! I was never more happy in my life. I can completely understand your situation and I hope things for you only got better. God bless you and you neice !

I love the poem. It really relates to what I was going through. It's kind of scary because the same thing happen to me. My brother had a new baby daughter and she changed my life all around and now everything is cool in my life.

Lenie

This poem put into words what I have felt. I'm just 16, but have unfortunately also felt the pains of not wanting to go on anymore. My older sister is 5 months pregnect. Maybe, if I'm lucky, my nephew's birth will dawn a "new beginning" for myself.
